Wal-Mart To Begin Selling iPhone 3GS For $97

Fresh off the news of Apple looking to no longer ship out the 3G version, Walmart is revealing their plans to sell the 16GB iPhone 3GS for a price tag of $97 this week, according to AppleInsider.

Beginning Tuesday, the 16GB version of the 3GS will cost just about the same as the 8GB iPhone 3G.

CNNMoney is saying that the new deal from Walmart will still require a two-year contract with AT&T. Of course, one could only think that the price reduction is because of the upcoming holiday weekend.

"It is our commitment to always lead on price," according to Mehrdad Akbar, the senior category director for Walmart.

What's everyone's thoughts out there on this price reduction? Is the move enough to lead you to scoop up a 3GS if you're still hanging onto the 3G? Or just still wait it out with the majority for the upcoming 4G? (or whatever name it may adopt). Feel free to leave comments below!Image courtesy of Boy Genius Report
